Is it true that hosting companies store archives of sites, anti-terror servers, etc. for 3 months?

Question

Network administration

Hello!
I heard that it is possible that all hosters store all client servers even after deletion. How true is this?

Answer 1

Hosting dependent. If this is a virtual server or a site on a shared site, then yes, they store it for at least a month (most often), and if it is a physical server, then often everything is simply formatted when a new client arrives and orders this server. It makes no sense to store hard drives for a month after the client leaves, it's all very expensive.

Answer 2

depends on legal requirements in a particular country

Answer 3

they don’t keep servers, servers just gather dust until someone orders them again

Answer 4

Are you a terrorist? :)
Judging by the tag, we are talking about firstvds.ru ?
They definitely don't store. The virtual machine is deleted immediately and permanently.

Answer 5

No. Specially not stored.
Maybe they are required by law to do so.
But so far - the storage of this data is nothing more than an accident.
